The Story of God’s People
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF PROVERBS 1: 20–33
Read by Marina Russouw
Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her
voice. At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the
city gates she speaks: “How long, O simple ones, will you love
being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge? Give heed to my reproof; I will pour

3. out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you.
Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my
hand and no one heeded, and because you have ignored all my
counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at
your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you, when panic
strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a
whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then
they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me
diligently, but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of my
counsel, and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the
fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices. For
waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools
destroys them; but those who listen to me will be secure and
will live at ease, without dread of disaster.”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 19 (Sung.)
The heavens declare the glo-ry of God, *
and the firmament shows his hand-i-work.
One day tells its tale to a-no-ther, *
and one night imparts knowledge to a-no-ther.
Although they have no words or lan-guage, *
and their voices are not heard,
Their sound has gone out in-to all lands, *
and their message to the ends of the world.
In the deep has he set a pa-vi-lion for the sun; *
it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber / it
rejoices like a champion to run its course.

4. It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and
runs about to the end of it a-gain; *
nothing is hidden from its burn-ing heat.
The law of the LORD is perfect and re-vives the soul; *
the testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the
in-no-cent.
The statutes of the LORD are just and re-joice the heart; *
the commandment of the LORD is clear and gives light to
the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean and en-dures for e-ver; *
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous al-to-
ge- ther.
More to be desired are they than gold / more than much fine
gold, *
sweeter far than honey / than ho-ney in the comb.
By them also is your ser-vant en-light-ened, *
and in keeping them there is great re-ward.
Who can tell how of-ten he of-fends? *
cleanse me from my se-cret faults.
Above all keep your servant from presumptuous sins / let them
not get do-mi-nion o-ver me; *
then shall I be whole and sound and innocent of a great
of- fense.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be ac-cept-a-ble in your sight, *
O LORD, my strength and my re-dee-mer.
Glory be to the Fa-ther and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and e-ver shall be,
world without end Amen.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF JAMES 3: 1–12

5. Read by Wendy Teske McClean
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and
sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with
greater strictness. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone
who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the
whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the
mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole
bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes
strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small
rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue
is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a
forest is set ablaze by a small fire! And the tongue is a fire. The
tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it
stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, and is
itself set on fire by hell. For every species of beast and bird, of
reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by
the human species, but no one can tame the tongue—a restless
evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father,
and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God.
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers
and sisters, this ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth
from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? Can a fig
tree, my brothers and sisters, yield olives, or a grapevine figs?
No more can salt water yield fresh.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Mark 8: 27-38.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesare and
Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people
say that I am?” And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and
others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” He asked
them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him,
“You are the Messiah.” And he sternly ordered them not to tell
anyone about him. Then he began to teach them that the Son of
Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders,
the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three
days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took
him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at
his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!
For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on
human things.” He called the crowd with his disciples, and said
to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny
themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those
who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their
life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For
what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their
life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those
who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed
when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Music Notes:
Déodat de Sévérac (1872-1921) was a French composer who is
best known for his choral music, but he also wrote music for
piano, operas and a small number of organ pieces. The “Petite
Suite Scholastique” is a set of five pieces designed for use
during a mass.
Andre Campra is another Frenchman, but from an earlier period
(1660-1744). As Music Director of Notre Dame for six years,
Campra caused a bit of a stir by introducing string players to
play during mass - at that time violins were viewed as ‘street
instruments’ and therefore not appropriate in a sacred context.
His opera/ballets were very popular during his lifetime,
although seldom heard today. ‘Rigaudon’ is from the opera
‘Idoménée’, written in 1711/1712.
We’ve had to change the date of the choir’s bake sale to this

10. Saturday, September 22nd, from 11AM to 12:30 PM. We
have raised several hundred dollars so far, in the process slaking
many a sweet tooth with delicious home-baked treats. Please
come out and support this worthy project in support of the
Organ Restoration Fund.
The next sale will be in early December, just in time to stock
up for your Christmas table and seasonal parties. More
information closer to the date, so stay tuned!
Today the organ is back to full power, with the first phase of the
restoration completed just this past week. One of the things you
will notice is that the organ is less noisy since the leak in one of
the wind reservoirs has been patched (a major task!). Also, it’
hoped that there won’t be as many ‘stuck notes’ (known to
organists as ‘ciphers’) – although there might still be the
occasional one until the rest of the work is done! A thousand
thanks to all who contributed to this phase of the project.
However, many more funds are needed to complete the job.
If you, or someone you know, might be interested
in joining the choir, please see Neil after the service, or call him
at 416-410-1504, or email him at nshoulton@gmail.com.
